    Life is so not fair. This is why I've told my kids that if you can get out of bed in the morning and walk to the shower with your healthy body, don't complain about anything...ever.
    I love Michael and it breaks my heart to see him have to go through all this. I'm 58 and I started thinking about my own mortality once I reached my 50's. I can't imagine how he deals with this.
    If anyone deserves a miracle, it's him.

    My sister just passed away from Huntington's disease. It was like watching someone slowly get Parkinson's, Alzheimer's and dementia all at the same time. It is amazing that in the last few stages of some of these terrible diseases the strongest person thru it all is the one we loose. My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to Michael and to your family. I grew up watching you and still watch the Back To The Future movies religiously. Stay strong and thank you for all the laughs you've given us over the years. Hopefully we find a cure one day.

    He is such a fighter. I admire his tenacity, courage and wit while dealing with PD most of his entire adult life. His foundation will be his lasting legacy to keep looking for the cure. For all the people out there, like my husband who was recently diagnosed. The research, the PPMI studies and the trials are all going to give so many people so much more hope. And we have Michael to thank for that...✨

    Michael J. Fox is awesome. His willingness to be open brings the plight of so many to the forefront. Thank you! Me: 53 cancer survivor Major surgeries. Chronic pain. Neuropathy. And please, don't let me live to be 80. I can't handle that many years of pain. I was forced to work for 10 years in extreme pain and I cracked, almost took my own life. There's millions of us out there living unusual lives. Never judge a man until you've walked in his shoes, and even then...don't. Judging is a dirty habit. Everyone has their own struggle but disabled people struggle Every. Single. Day. UP to Michael J. Fox.

    Aside from the fact that I enjoy Mr. Fox's movies & TV series, I will also say he's a remarkable person, he truly is. I will admit that he's a lot braver than I would be, if I were in his situation. I'm sure he has his days, where it gets to him - emotionally speaking - but he sure doesn't show it. Kudos to Michael, for making the best out of an unfortunate condition. He's certainly setting a good example, for others that may have the same affliction......
